I would like to suggest a change in the way the "Setup" menus are offered. It's always been somewhat confusing that there are two different selections called "Setup"; one in the Start menu at the tray and one on the pinboard. the pinboard icon is WizardWizard and the Startup one has WizardWizard in it, but has other stuff as well. Would it be possible to integrate these two selections so that they both do the same thing. It's probably still good to have them in both locations, but they should be the same thing if they are going to be called the same name.

Right click on the icon that says setup;
Change the name to wizard wizard;

Noted. Thanks. This particular thing doesn't really bother me that much because I'm aware of it, but now that Puppy is getting more and more interest among new Linux users, I think it's important for Puppy to be as user friendly as possible.

Python and pygtk. Pygtk is missing in lucid 5.1.1. The best thing is to compile pygtk and transfer the pygtk stuff to the right place in python folder structure or if you know, use compiling parameter to direct pygtk stuff straight to right place. I didnt know how to do that.

Well, I have compiled it several times, but I noticed that if I just copy from working lucid 5.1.1 version the python folders with pygtk, it was enough to get stream2ip (pygtk python app) working.

So I could make package of my python + pygtk and you could try it if I upload it to ftp server.

I am trying to add an OpenOffice sfs file to Lucid 5.1.1 that I downloaded from the www.puppylinux.org/news site.

I have 0 sfs files loaded when I try to add OpenOffice to the bootconfig.

I have tried three different OpenOffice sfs files:
OpenOffice-3.1.1-sfs4.sfs 177M which works in Stardust013 & Puppy 4.3.1
OpenOffice-3.2-dpup-sfs4.sfs 148M
OpenOffice-3.1.1JP_wJRE1.6.0_17-sfs4.sfs 196M
from http://219.75.239.224/puppy/pup4/opt/ website

When I set the bootconfig to load any one of the above at boot Lucid crashes
with a kernel fault. I says there isn't any loop available.

I do not know what that means.
My GUESS is Lucid has 0 available loop mount points for sfs files.
Barry's Puppy 4.3.1 has 5 loop mount points.
Lighthouse 5.00F has 40 loop mount points.

How do I add OpenOffice?
Be detailed and treat me as a newbie. Thanks

GnuCash 2.2.9 does not work for me. I have too many records in my 9 megabyte GnuCash file to be displayed in 2.2.9-5.

What do I need to do to install GnuCash 2.2.6 from the Linux Mint 7 repositories? I want to install it into Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 if I can. I know this version of GnuCash works as I have been using it for 2 years.

When into Edit==>Preferences==>Register Defaults
Changed transactions value from "0" to "1000"
and GnuCash 2.2.9 now showed the transactions in my biggest account.

I am told that this is not correct fix, but it works.

I have an one account of the 724 accounts with 3138 transactions of the 7251 total transactions in the 9,793K GnuCash_xxxxxxx.xac file.

This information may help someone.
I gathered the solution from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340589
and my query to GnuCash Forum is
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Account-not-shown-in-2-2-9-shows-in-2-2-6-tt3073930.html#none

Please, could someone tell me how to build an sfs file of GnuCash 2.2.9 for Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 and useable in the other puppies like Wolf-021, Barry's Puppy 4.3.1, Stardust 013, Insidious Puppy 001, and others?

Do I just go into the lucidsave.sfs and extract the gnucash directories and libraries into another file or is it more complicated than that?

You need to get a package that supports older puppies (avoiding the glibc 2.7 error)..

So either compile from source in 4.3 or 4.2, or find a package made for something that it binary compatible with 4.3 or 4.2... (Debian Lenny, for example, I think...)

When you have your binary files, and are sure the binary will run, you can make the sfs easily...

You need a folder called something like 'gnucash', and inside you must mirror the filesystem/file structure that gnucash needs to run..

Do I understand correctly, that GnuCash 2.2.9 from PPM of Lucid Puppy 5.11 works perfectly, once you have changed Register Defaults from "0" to "1000"? Or are there other steps you have not described here?
